➜ Who’s up: Take me home, country roads. Texas might not have been able to practice all week because of the surprise winter weather in the South, but West Virginia still got the road win in Austin. That’s now three signature wins for the Mountaineers in their last four games after also beating Kansas and Texas Tech earlier this month.
➜ Who’s down: Houston remains an advanced metrics darling, but the Cougars, having lost on the road at Wichita State last Thursday, don’t even lead their own conference. The Shockers are now atop the AAC from both a winning percentage perspective and in terms of number of losses. Houston took the resulting AP Top 25 tumble.
➜ Who to watch: Alabama is this close to running away with the SEC title. Arkansas could at least forestall what is the likely Crimson Tide crowning in Wednesday’s 8 p.m. showdown on ESPN2. The Razorbacks have the home-court advantage, and, in theory, their own (rather long) shot at a conference title. This matchup screams for a “Woo, pig sooie!”
